Easy way to learn Stoppies

A great way to learn stoppies, Don't luagh - is on a pushbike. Get your-self a pushbike with good brakes and practise. I started doing stoppies on a Pushbike before I ever had a motorbike.
Rolling stoppies at 35mph on a pushbike down a hill is a lot harder than a stoppie on a Motorbike.

A pushbike as you know is a lot lighter than a motorbike and with ashorter wheelbase, so it reacts far greater from slight braking input then that of a motorbike. (making you more accurate with brake control) and when You master it, and then you try doing a stoppie on a motorbike it becomes much more easy.

My first go of rolling it on a Motorbike after practising stoppies on P'bike were **** easy. After 30mins I was rolling from over 90mph and peaking at the balance point near the end.

Plus if you drop a pushbike it don't matter.

Trust me all my friends learnt the same way.
